Calzephyr I have been doing this for quite some time, especially at our childrens' doctors office. I also cut the address labels and notify the...
I purchased a used ConCor Kato Hudson 4-6-4 steamer via an online auction for a very inexpensive and unexpected price. The model from the photos...
Charlie, you have my highest degree of respect in N scale model railroading today and this has existed for the past six or seven years, maybe even...
Hmmmmmmm, I smell a rat. I have very old model railroad mags that have had pre-production examples making test runs for years. I do not plan to...
First, there is no doubt that any of the above listed locos can literally pull the paint off the wall. All are very powerful and will meet your...
I use Kato Unitrak exclusively after years of using Atlas, Peco, Micro Engineering and other brands alone and in combo's, but when I retired I...
I just learned a lesson. I spent so much time getting disenchanted with the model railroad environment around here, that I pretty much bagged it...
I got an email from a long time friend who encouraged me or should I say conerced me into reading the Trainboard as on my computer there are 6...
I returned to reply to a personal message to a long time friend, and before I accessed the message, I decided to look to see if there were any...
This morning at my breakfast diner, my train friend returned me some of my old N scale mags. I didn't even browse them although not having...

On another note, nightmare, Kato hit a homerun here and I cant wait to get my hands on a couple. Ill keep modifying the gs4 into my Santa fe...
When the mikado first came out in about '94, I was eager as hell for one, because of my super positive experience with Kato JNR locos and the...
NIghtmare is your perfect name. Obviously you work for Kato, or are closely associated with them, as you have passed some inside information...
I am passing on this potential p/o/s. Kato builds a terrific diesel and "electric" locomotive. I know I am going to get slammed, but this is...
I have a lot of locomotives, but my oldest and most reliable diesel is a Kato/Atlas RS-3 from the very first production run in 1985. I keep my...
I had a couple of small layouts I designated for shows, a Z and an N. I built them quite sturdily and protected them as much as possible, but I...
I am from the "old school" and do not believe in DCC so you know exactly from where my opinions originate. I have most of the newer models both...
Just a quick note: I am a faithful user of knuckle couplers of all brands, and Calzephyr's and others impressions are right on to me. But I have...
I'm 66 divorced twice and still have my trains many of the N scale when I started in '82. I live alone and very happily, dating women but never...
